Yeah, he's still a centrist. Farage is clearly a part of the woke mob now.
Elon Musk | Doer of things on X and sad little man
- Thread starter Pogue Mahone
- Start date
All this because Farage released a video saying that 'Tommy Robinson wasn't what is needed and isn't a good example or role model for Reform'
Musk doesn't like it, throws his toys out and now goes hard against Farage.
But yeah, he's not a racist, not far right, not meddling in other countries politics etc..... These Musk fanboys that defend him like MAGA loons defend Trump are all as bad as each other. I truly hope Trump and Elon fall out as they are as petty, arrogant and narcissistic as each other. It could be an epic battle leading to mutual destruction, one that also fractures both bases and pits supporters against each other. Wouldn't that be nice?

I'm not that optimistic of them falling out anytime soon
they are too useful too each other, for now

Why does this cnutfeckle have an opinion on something every day?
It's already started. There have been obvious cracks and some of Trump's social media posts have been quite telling. The media and public need to help though, the more they push the President Musk theory and embarrass Trump, or push the Musk just being a useful idiot idea, the quicker it will happen. One will snap. If not both.
They already did sure (or at least Trump did with him), but Musk came scurrying back like the rest of them.
It’s one thing you have to give to Trump, he kow-tows to no one.

Facists turning on each other, you love to see it. Not living in the UK, all I know about Tommy Robinson is from his wikipedia page. Can someone from the UK explain why Musk has such a hard on for Robinson over Farage? From across the pond, Farage would seem to make far more sense for Musk to back than Robinson.
You have to say fair play to Farage. As despicable as he is, this is the ultimate display of his integrity in so far as not bucking or deviating for anyone, even someone who would have made him rich beyond his wildest imagination.
He’ll get kudos amongst his ilk for this.
Less intelligent and easier to manipulate I imagine.
I'd believe that but many supposedly principled Republicans had no problem metaphorically felating Trump when he had the popular support on his side.
The only reason Farage is doing that is because Robsinson would become leader of Reform and Farage wants the power himself. He doesn’t have any integrity. He was happy to be up Musk’s arse for weeks. It’s Musk who has dropped him and not the other way around.
Yeah but this is a bit different. Musk would line his pockets like no other and give his party financial backing and social media sway and he’s still said no. It’s a huge move on his part; he’s slapped the golden ticket away instead of selling out or becoming a puppet for something he doesn’t believe in. Musk doesn’t encounter many who don’t yield to his clout; not many will stick to their guns when push comes to shove.
Or something has been put on the table he refuses to get on board with. Are you talking about Robinson becoming a political leader?
It's because he's a big dumb idiot, and probably some of his big dumb idiot followers said how great Robinson is to him, and he went "hurr durr well that must be true", and as a direct result he's now interfering in the internal politics of a British far-right party.
Just the same old same old.
He's still up his arse. Look at that tweet. "Elon is a remarkable individual", he's desperately caught between his desire for power and his fear of upsetting daddy Elon.
Yeah Farage is scared Robinson will take over from him. Farage doesn’t have any principles.
Exactly the man is still a Cnut.
Tommy Robinson is not going to become a politician… how much fun would it be to see him decapitated in live debate.
Farage is just scared of losing control. He’s had all of the right wing cnuts in this country laud him now another fascist goes against him, he’ll be shitting his pants as he thought he was getting Musk’s money.
FTFY
Go on
It seems unlikely that Elon Musk manages his X account entirely on his own. The idea that he’s personally sharing right-wing memes around the clock feels a bit far-fetched. It’s more plausible that he has a team helping him with his social media presence, as many high-profile individuals do.
Didn't he tweet himself shagging a hooker? Doesn't feel like something a team would do.
No, you don'tWait, what? I need to see that
If Elon has the time to run sock-puppet accounts talking about what a great father he is, he's got time to retweet far-right accounts on his own. It's a bit silly to think that he wouldn't. It's not like he puts so much effort into most of his tweets.
You’re putting too much thought into it really.
Farage didn’t agree with something Musk said and now Musk doesn’t like that.
Plus Farage is still in dog whistle territory whereas Robinson is well well past that stage now. Musk seems to like his racism more out in the open now.
Musk never had any intention of donating to reform. He’s just changing the subject back to the UK, so he can get back his brain dead supporters who weren’t happy with his position over h-1b. So the easiest target for him are Muslims. He will move to black people after that.
Elon itching to get involved in the UK’s goings on + Ratcliffe allegedly offering him an opportunity to invest in United = us used as a vehicle?
Probably a bit far fetched. Undue political influence isn’t exerted by owners of football clubs.

Before you start questioning intelligence, I'd suggest you understand what a fact is.
Your opinion is quit twitter and let him build up a bubble of hate, mine is that we have a voice on there to continue to push back against his words. Neither are "facts" when it comes to any outcome.
Musk is jumping on anything to rile up the far right. "Tommy Robinson" is a fake name character who has a history of violence, imprisonment and surrounding himself with child abusers and yet is somehow revered by these people. Musk has a lot of history with those types and elevating them to get what he wants. Thick cnuts who want to rage are easy to control.
Farage is a career scumbag, but he is smart. He's smarter than both Musk and Trump at much more than just politics. He is a bigger problem for Musk than the current Labour government.
That all makes sense. Hard to imagine someone more cringey than Musk.
Nah. But all accounts, Musk is obsessed with personally posting on Twitter and has been even before he bought it to be his personal megaphone. Like his friend who said Musk got hotel security to open the safe at 4am so he could continue tweeting away at all hours of the night. I don't think its very likely Musk even lets anyone else know his Twitter password so I think you're just wrong here.
I mean it's not hard to delegate on X Premium and have them reply "True" or "100%" but it's not that important

I don't have anything to back it up so not much else I can say really
just saying evil billionaires doing favours for other evil billionaires wouldn't be that surprising
What is a fact is that you (and others) continuing to post on Twitter, link to Twitter posts, and click on links to Twitter posts absolutely, 100% helps Musk and Twitter. It's also a fact that Musk has suspended accounts simply because he doesn't like what they say.
Now onto opinions. My opinion is that your idea of "pushing back" on Twitter itself is ill conceived and probably has very little positive benefit that you think it does because of the facts above and the inferred speculation that he is almost certainly manually manipulating the algorithm and promoting those that agree with him. So I think your "voice" (especially as a non-blue check mark critic of Musk) on Twitter is far, far less impactful than you seem to think it is. You'd probably have a chance to have a much greater voice on Tik Tok actually because of how Tik Tok's algorithm works.

Watching that the first time, I genuinely thought he referred to wife beaters, rapists and paedophiles as "good people with great records outside of politics".
